    HCMA31/2024

    On retrial of the evidence the court was not satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that the appellants were participating in a 'race' or equivalent speed competition; the pattern of largely sequential driving, use of indicators and hazard lights, lack of overtaking or agreement and substantial gaps rendered the racing convictions unsafe, so convictions for counts 1–4 were quashed; however appellants had admitted the alternative charges of dangerous driving and convictions for those offences were entered.
